Somehow Wytheville, near the intersection of I-77 and I-81 has become a convenient stopping place in our travels. We're at the KOA here again as we trek south in search of warmer weather so we can de-winterize and put the 400 through her paces. Yesterday we delighted...

Breakfast at Table
It's a chilly morning in Ohio, below freezing when we first got up. It's one of those days when, while traveling with Gigi, we'd comment on how nice it could be to have an indoor kitchen. We'd prepare our breakfast in the clamshell kitchen then retreat indoors to sit...
The T@B 400 on the Road
The R&D team at nüCamp RV have charged the two of us with the responsibility of beta testing their newest T@B model, the 400. For the last three years we've been tuned in to the plans to add this model to their line. In July we were privileged to see a preview of...
Amtrak in the Rain
Tuesday morning we hugged Linus and Rachel goodbye then trekked with Greg to their local T station and on to South Station where we got hugs from him then climbed aboard the Quiet Car on the Northeast Regional. At New York Penn Station we enjoyed good food and...
Downtown Boston
With family members back into their routines and Joel on a bus home to Maine, we ventured into Boston. We noshed on New England Clam Chowder at Atlantic Fish then sought a fix for an iPhone that quits unexpectedly and got a warranty replacement! We found a cleverly...
Loew’s at the Commons
A Sunday morning adventure! At the suggestion of John, one of Greg's friends from their Boston College days, we headed into town for the 11AM screening of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them at the huge multiplex theaters across from the Boston Commons. Thus we've...
Into Orleans
Long about midafternoon Greg floated the proposal that we four make our way to Hot Chocolate Sparrow, a landmark coffee house nearby. Thus sustained with hot beverages and sweet treats we headed off on foot to explore the local bookstore, meander past a historic...
Leaving Manhattan
As the train leaves New York's Penn Station, we're on pins and needles. The conductor that gave us permission to stay on the train although our ticker is officially for an earlier train is now off duty. With fingers crossed we are waiting for the next conductor to...
The 1186 to Boston
Looks like we my yet get to Boston tonight and a bit sooner than we thought we might. Amtrak managed to get us onto another Boston bound train and if things go smoothly we may arrive only an hour and a half later than the original schedule!
Ultra Tiny Housing
Living in an Amtrak roomette makes us appreciate how palatial our T@B is. In our roomette we have two seats that convert into a lower bunk, an upper bunk that raises up to the ceiling when not in use, and a half bath all packed into about twenty-one square feet. It's...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.
Enjoy exploring, and leave us comments! We love hearing from you. And if you’d like to follow us, Subscribe by signing up at the bottom of this page.

OUR VERY
LATEST
Just One Egg
When we arrived at Timbercrest nearly three weeks ago, we were shown a Killdeer nest in the middle of the gravel in the campsite across from ours, four black and white speckled eggs, and a very frantic parent trying to distract us from the nest with a characteristic...
Off to Lehman’s
Today started out as a quiet day in the campground with Amanda in the campsite next door. We shared a breakfast of Eggs and Low-Carb Corned Beef Hash prepared in our Hot Logic Mini Oven and Crispy Pork Belly fried up on her Dash Express Griddle before busying...
John & Michael Darling
Sometimes the stars align just right. This evening we followed the directions given to Wendy, John, and Michael, by Peter Pan, “There it is Wendy. Second star to the right then straight on ‘til morning.” Thus we traveled, guided by a troupe of young dancers, to...
